Hello,
I am running on the LTS Kernel 4.4.2, and upon upgrade of yesterday with python 2.7 and virt-manager; my virt-manager fails to start. with the following error:

[hsafe@thinkt pkg]$ virt-manager
Traceback (most recent call last):

IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/PyDrive-1.0.1-py2.7.egg-info/PKG-INFO'

Here are some details of my env:

-Linux thinkt 4.4.21-1-lts #1 SMP Thu Sep 15 20:38:36 CEST 2016 x86_64 GNU/Linux
-Python 2.7.12
-virt-manager Version : 1.4.0-2

Running: journalctl -p 3 -xb && tail /var/log/pacman.log would not indicate any issues as well. I tried to downgrade virt-manager already but then it did not help. Can you please help ? I have tons of work to do with my virt env and the reason on the first place to go with LTS was to have another layer of protection for that....

Hello Again

I found the solution:
Digging more, found in other stack-exchange posts and the work-around stated was o+r read access rights to the particular file. I did and it fixed the issue
[hsafe@thinkt pkg]$ sudo chmod o+r /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/PyDrive-1.0.1-py2.7.egg-info/PKG-INFO

Ill mark it as resolved.
